If there is a failed journal checksum, don't reset the journal.  This
allows for userspace programs to decide how to recover from this
situation.  It may be that ignoring the journal checksum failure might
be a better way of recovering the file system.  Once we add per-block
checksums, we can definitely do better.  Until then, a system
administrator can try backing up the file system image (or taking a
snapshot) and and trying to determine experimentally whether ignoring
the checksum failure or aborting the journal replay results in less
data loss.
